Changes (Poem)

Our life is one of constant motion, forever changing like the ocean,
Fearing the outcomes we cannot see, we stay where we are and constantly be,
We stay in the pain of an old romance, we stay in the pain of not taking that chance,
We stay in our grief of a love that has passed, not willing to move or let go of the past.
We regret things we did, or did not do, we hold onto anger and emotional blues,
We blame other people and then ourselves, for the hurt and the upset and our poor health.
When we feel we are ready for a new start, we gear ourselves up to play our part,
But fear creeps in of “what if I fail?” I will be worse off than I am today!
So maybe I will just sit on the fence, and wait till I get another chance,
For staying, no movement, repeating the pain, will just hold you back again and again.
Remaining in pain, not living your truth, being stuck in your life, being hurt and unsure,
Not willing to change for fear of fear, not willing to move or progress any nearer,
Can cause so much sadness and other ills; depression, headaches, and emotional hills,
Not knowing what’s wrong, is sometimes right, to ask yourself this: “am I happy in my life?”
For if the answer is no, then aspire to change – what is holding you back – and then spread your wings,
For freedom can come from the choices you make, the knowledge you learn, the risks you take,
When you make the first move you are starting to heal; your mind, your soul, and your body too,
The spirit world applauds you though and through,
Trust intuition no matter how hard, know what you want, have faith in God,
There is nothing you cannot cope with, with God on your side, He sends us His Angels to be by our side,
For it takes courage to change and confidence too, ask and receive the angelic guidance through.
So the message here from the spirit world is:
Go for your dreams, no matter how small, do what you want, and go for that goal,
Live your truth and follow your heart, ask for assistance in order to start,
Love yourself and love your life, because with love in your soul, you will never, ever, fail……………….
